Cynthia has
taught Hatha Yoga classes for the past three years in the Tampa/Brandon
area. She is very excited to be part of the Treehouse Community
since it was the approach to teaching by its founder, Maggie McClain,
that solidified her decision to teach yoga! Prior to her yoga
involvement, Cynthia taught jazz and modern dance to children
and adults in Boston, Massachusetts and various cities in Florida.
Her passion for teaching reflects her love of learning, desire
to communicate and her enjoyment of people. Comments from students
sum it up best, "She brings a joyful energy to her class...
and has great attention to detail." Workshops that have most
influenced Cynthia have been those taken with Erich Schiffman,
Rodney Yee and Aadil Palkhivala. She is currently enrolled at
the Florida Institute for Integrated Yoga Studies.

likes to share the joy of his yoga with others. His practice is
influenced primarily by Erich Schiffmann and by his first teacher,
Vasanta Lidanova, who taught Integral yoga in the tradition of Swami
Satchidananda. LeGrand continues to teach with a bias toward a more
meditative practice, using the breath to help guide the harmonious
transformation of the student. LeGrand's emphasis is on calming
the mind and expanding the spirit, while comfortably approaching
the ever-changing limits of the body. He respects and nurtures all
